Zaccess Removal = no internet connection

This morning, after checking mail and reading the news, I did my weekly Malware scans: MWB and Superantispyware. Malwarebytes detected 7 threats; 5 of Zaccess and 2 of PUP Crossrider.a. I ok'd removal/quarantine and since then I have been unable to connect to the internet. Wireless shows connected, signal strong; but I'm unable to access any website. Tried Pinging several sites but all timed out. All other computers on the home network are acting fine. I tried restoring the Quarantined files, hoping internet access would return, but no good. Quarantined them a second time. Ran Av Quick Scan with Avast, no threats found. Full system scan would not run, just hung on one file.

I've attached FRST files. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Since I have no internet access, I'll be monitoring my mail address through my son's laptop. Rastaman19@verizon.net. Thanks,Tom

Some additional information. I am able to Ping certain sites; ie google.com, yahoo.com, but not others. And no browser response when trying to access pingable sites.Checked browsers to ensure obtain DNS is automatic.Flushed DNS. Did a winsock and TCIP stack reset. Disabled AV. Still nothing.

I was poking around while I'm waiting and discovered the ipsec.sys driver is missing from windows\system32\drivers folder. TCPIP is there, as is TCP/IP Protocol Driver in Non-Plug and Play Drivers if that helps. SFC /Scannow reported no issues.
